Sheet Pan Hummus Chicken And Veggies

Talk about easy sheet pan dinners! Chicken breasts are coated in garlicky hummus and placed on a sheet pan with chopped zucchini and red onion. It honestly doesn’t get much easier than that! With only about 10 minutes of preparation (if that), sheet pan hummus chicken and veggies is going to be your new favorite lazy dinner recipe!

It’s absolutely perfect if you are looking for recipes with hummus, specifically pre-made hummus!

I frequently get asked what I feed my family on a weekly basis, so I figured I would start sharing some of my favorite weeknight dinners, like this baked hummus chicken! It’s an easy, delicious and healthy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. You might also enjoy my Greek Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs And Veggies recipe, and my One Skillet Shrimp And Orzo recipe!

Why I Love Sheet Pan Chicken And Veggies So Much:

Sheet pan dinners are my absolute go to when I’ve had a busy day. Just toss a bunch of vegetables and chicken on a pan and let it all cook together! It usually takes me about 10 minutes to prepare, cooks in 30 minutes, and I’ve got a healthy and delicious dinner on the table within the hour!

The simplicity of this easy recipe is off the charts. It also makes a wonderful leftover hummus recipe, if you have any laying around (I always have 2 or 3 hummus containers shoved in a drawer in the refrigerator for a last minute appetizer for guests!)

Plus I always make extra, which means I made dinner AND lunch for the next day with only 10 minutes of preparation! I store the left overs in a glass container with an air-tight lid. Tupperwares also work great!

How To Make Hummus Chicken And Veggies:

It’s so easy, I feel weird even calling this hummus chicken bake a recipe!

Scroll down to the recipe card for full list of ingredients and instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet or large baking dish by placing a piece of parchment paper over the top.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the hummus, minced or pressed garlic and olive oil. Stir well.
  3. Cut the skinless chicken breasts in half horizontally (so they are thinner), and place them on the baking sheet. Coat the top of each breast with an even layer of the hummus mixture, a little more than 2 tbsp per piece of chicken.
  4. Spread the sliced and chopped vegetables evenly throughout the baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Salt and black pepper everything on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked to 165 degrees F at its thickest part.
  6. Serve the hummus crusted chicken with the baked vegetables. You have the option to add a side of rice, quinoa or couscous to this dish as well!

Hummus Chicken Ingredients & Substitutions

Honestly, ANYTHING that will cook through in 25-30 minutes works for this sheet pan chicken dinner. I recommend using local seasonal produce for sustainability reasons! And I recommend using as many vegetables as you would like to use! I only had zucchini and red onion on hand, but here are a few more suggestions:

  • Broccoli or Bell Pepper

  • Zucchini and/or summer squash

  • Red onions or yellow onions

  • Garlic (spread around baking sheet as whole cloves)

  • Eggplant or Cherry Tomatoes

  • Asparagus or Green Beans

  • Small cubed butternut squash (sometimes this takes a little longer to bake, depending)

  • Potatoes

  • Lemon – feel free to squeeze some lemon juice over everything for a boost of citrusy flavor!

  • Feta Cheese – feel free to finish it off with a sprinkle of feta cheese

How To Store Leftovers

  • You can store leftovers in a glass, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To re-heat, you can microwave it, or heat it up in a conventional oven set to 350 for 10-12 minutes. I don’t recommend freezing this recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is this a hummus crusted chicken recipe?So here’s my thing with calling it ‘crusted’. Technically this is how you make hummus crusted chicken…HOWEVER…I do not consider the hummus to make a ‘crust’ on the chicken. To me, crust is crispy. I have never had the luck of being able to get the hummus crispy on the chicken when baking it. So I consider this more of a ‘hummus chicken’ recipe, and you can decide if you consider it crusted or not!
Is it okay to use store bought hummus?Absolutely! That is exactly what I use! It’s just so much easier when you’re in a rush to get dinner on the table. Plus I always have hummus bowls in the corner of the fridge, just waiting to be used. But if you are feeling ambitious and want to make the hummus from scratch, more power to you! But yes, store bought hummus is TOTALLY FINE for this recipe.
Does the flavor of the hummus I use change anything?The flavor will change the flavor of the chicken, but you can use whatever flavor of hummus that you like! I used lemon hummus for this recipe, but you can also use sun-dried tomato hummus, everything bagel seasoned hummus (yes, it’s a thing!), greek inspired hummus, spicy hummus or really ANY kind of hummus, even your own hummus! I encourage adding garlic to whatever flavor your choose for the added health benefits that it brings to the dish, such as increasing antioxidant levels in the body to help fight free radicals.
